Permanence of a semi-ratio-dependent predator-prey system with nonmonotonic functional response and time delay (Q1035087)

Summary: Sufficient conditions for permanence of the semi-ratio-dependent predator-prey system with nonmonotonic functional response and time delay \[ \dot x_1(t)=x_1(t)[r_1(t)-a_{11}(t)x_1(t-\tau(t))-a_{12}(t)x_2(t)/(m^2+x_1^2(t))], \] \[ \dot x_2(t)=x_2(t)[r_2(t)-a_{21}(t)x_2(t)/x_1(t)], \] are obtained, where \(x_1(t)\) and \(x_2(t)\) stand for the density of the prey and the predator, respectively, and \(m\neq 0\) is a constant. \(\tau(t)\geq 0\) stands for the time delays due to negative feedback of the prey population.
